Appin was a leading Indian cyberespionage firm that few people even knew existed. A Reuters investigation found that the company grew from an educational startup to a hack-for-hire powerhouse that stole secrets from business titans, politicians, military officials and wealthy elites around the globe. Appin alumni went on to form other firms that are still active today.
I am honestly curious about what western cultural reference does this refer to (?).
Hackers, a glorious movie from 1995 about a bunch of misfit teenage hackers. The movie has some killer taglines like hack the planet and RISC is good. Worth a watch although more in the fun-bad category than the classic films category.
